Backyard chickens, take two. Minus the foxes.
This year’s flock: 2 Cinnamon Queens, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 White Rock, and 1 Production Red.
*We bought these chicks at local farm stores (well, as local as farm stores can be to St. Louis City), not directly from the hatchery, but these breed descriptions are good!
You should see the “Linsencoop”
It will complement your back yard beautifully!
Linsenbean, Linsenbear, Linsenbrew……. now a Linsencoop! Love it
I bet there are a lot fewer foxes in Saint Louis.
Our neighbors dog periodically chases a huge raccoon away from our coop, and I see the occasional possum near the house. Both would love to destroy my egg laying operation, I’m certain.
Have fun with the chicks. I hope “Linsenbaby” enjoys them.
We’ve definitely seen opossums and raccoons around here, and some housecats. The only animals I’ve seen in the yard, however, are rabbits. I think Edie is doing a good enough job of spreading her scent around for animals to know they should steer clear…hopefully that keeps up until we get a coop up…
